|
Not long ago, and yet the image is so vague |
|
I hesitate to label it a memory |
|
There was a show of local color and I failed to stray |
|
'Cause I had nothin' to offer but insufficiency |
|
And you know that it's a bitch |
|
When you learn to scratch that itch |
|
A blatant fallibility, sooner to some, but eventually |
|
All kids pointed in the same direction |
|
While the human masses and their vain conceptions |
|
Obliterate each other with impunity |
|
And you wonder, what's in this for me |
|
To another abyss |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
To no avail |
|
(To no avail) |
|
The search is bound to fail |
|
To another abyss |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
To no avail |
|
(To no avail) |
|
So long ago I set sail |
|
And it chills me to the bone |
|
That I'm so far away from home |
|
To another abyss |
|
So what should I do now, what should I celebrate? |
|
Given finite means and a penchant to depreciate |
|
How can I still avow and depend upon a state |
|
That cares nothing for my happiness, welfare, or fate |
|
And I know I can't explain, the commotion in my brain |
|
Like a terrifying reality, de constructed but inadequately |
|
All gets pointed in the same direction |
|
While the human masses and their vain conceptions |
|
Obliterate each other with impunity, and release the weight of history |
|
To another abyss |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
To no avail |
|
(To no avail) |
|
The search is bound to fail |
|
To another abyss |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
To no avail |
|
(To no avail) |
|
So long ago I set sail |
|
And it chills me to the bone |
|
That I'm so far away from home |
|
To another abyss |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
So long ago, so long ago |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
Oh I set sail |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
And I'm struggling on the way |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
And I'm waiting for the day |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
And I'm looking for the way back home |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
So far away |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
So far away |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
|
So far away |
|
(To another abyss) |
|
(Ooh ooh) |
